Orlando Murders Demonstrates Our Media’s Continuing Failure

Most news outlets are calling the Orlando murders “Mass Shooting” and some even admit that it’s terrorism. Unfortunately, everyone seems to be afraid to call it whatit really is – religious extremism. This is the same kind of extremism we witness regularly by our religious right murdering doctors and clinic employees and patients.

You see the media being so very careful to state ISIS when referring to radical extremism, so careful not to offend the American terrorists.

Just like other mental problems, America can only begin to recover from our extremism when we are willing to admit that we have a problem with our own conservative extremism, religious and political.

The media is the only mechanism we have for facing the facts but we can’t when they hide the facts from us.
